Thinking of updating my MX laser, does anyone own the logitech mx revolution? Any bad points?

Think I will be ok getting a second hand one to save a few quid?

I'd suggest getting the mx1100 over the revolution personally, higher resolution and cheaper to boot

Seems suited to smaller hand by the looks of it

Revolution is good, but not as good as the MX1000 it replaced, imo. The MX1100 looks great, shame it doesnt come in a combo set.

Ive got that atm, but thinking about upgrading to the revolution.

yup, had mine for around 1 year and a half, faultless mouse and I love it. Very ergonomical, smooth, a joy to use. The only thing i found a bit wierd at first is there is no middle click, but I installed an addon for firefox to open new tabs and links with right click, so sorted. I would definatley recommend it. Worked fine for me also in CoD4 on pc, but nowadays I prefer gaming on ps3.

What no middle click, I use that all the time in FF :eek:

Got a link for the addon?

Couldn't stand it in games.... It was laggy, slow and the wheel sucked beyond belief.

Decent mouse for desktop use though, I like the quick scroll etc. but yeah, bought a G5 to replace my dead g7 and never looked back, best mouse I have ever held. so IMO if you are going to play a game, look for something else.

You seem to be the only hater

G5 is wired tho

Wow, just got it. Its lush.

Anyway you can press a button and you folder/browser will scroll straight to the top?

I don't think so, just enable quick scroll thingy and flick the wheel, it will roll fast for ages.

Ah yer cool

Just need to sort out middle click now...

I use UberOptions and set the middle button behind the wheel (default search button) to act as middle click.

Those that use uberoptions, do you have to install the SetPoint drives first?
